Information about Adobe Acrobat Plug-In
Adobe has a plug-in called AutoRedact Plug-In for Adobe Acrobat which is hands down the easiest and best thing we have found to use to search rosters. This has been discussed at a few of our meetings - 11/18/08 , 12/16/08 and 01/20/09 . Click on the links if you would like to read the minutes.
Michael Cerkez prepared a presentation on AutoRedact. Click on the link if you would like to see more about how AutoRedact works for searching rosters.
